Kate Spade’s rooms are mix-and-match affairs of hand-curated pieces acquired from travels near and far. She loves to layer all things sublime, sumptuous and exquisitely formed (and hide the rest in a cabinet). Creativity and cleverness are her most valuable assets. She’s not afraid to make mistakes. Behind every door, color and humor abound — as do fresh flowers, (almost) always. Her motto: buy what you love and you’ll never go wrong.

Inspired by some of the company’s iconic patterns and colors, Kate Spade New York’s collection of rugs, decorative pillows and throws present exciting and playfully sophisticated designs that encourage personal style with a dash of whimsical charm. Tapping into its extensive print archive, Kate Spade New York chose timeless favorites to seamlessly transition from fashion accessories to the home. The collection of rugs, decorative pillows and throws tells a classic Kate Spade New York story through a sense of adventure and audacious femininity.

From the fresh, modern color palette to her signature nature-inspired aesthetic, there is a lot to love about designer Lotta Anderson, creator of popular brand Lotta Jansdotter. Born on Aland, a small group of islands between Sweden and Finland, Anderson now works from her Brooklyn, New York, studio; runs creative workshops on her home islands of Aland as well as in Japan; and has published several books on sewing, craft, and home design.

Anderson’s studio space is a light-filled, creative wonderland brimming with inspiration in the form of colorful fabrics and craft materials, shelves of inspiring books, and cozy spots to curl up with a mug of hot tea. The designer’s aesthetic is influenced heavily by the scandinavian landscape and lifestyle, from the ease of a daily fika (coffee and cake) break, to the organic forms of seed pods and flowers that grace her fabrics, rugs, and ceramic designs. Lotta Jansdotter is all about slowing down, and finding ways of making the little things in our daily lives both practical and beautiful.

Lotta Jansdotter prints mix and match with ease, making it simple and stress-free to bring more color and pattern into the home. If you’re nervous about piling on the pattern, take a cue from Lotta’s own home and studio, and paint a calming, neutral backdrop with white paint and wood floors; then bring in color with rugs, throw pillows, and ceramics.

The Lotta Jansdotter collection for Surya rugs is packed with fun, fresh designs that would look stunning in just about any room in the house, from the living room and dining room to the entry hall, master bedroom, or kids’ playroom. And with their clean, scandinavian design, any of these pieces would work beautifully to elevate light wood and white basics from Ikea — make the look your own with small accents like handmade ceramics, artwork, and fresh green houseplants.

American rug manufacturer Milliken has long sought to put more on their floor coverings than beautiful patterns and colors. With their Wildlife Impressions Collection they have managed to capture some of the most stuffing wildlife art from two of the country’s premier studios on area rugs that are now available to you from Rugs Direct.

James, Robert and Joseph Hautman have established themselves as America’s foremost family of wildlife artists. All three brothers have received numerous honors and awards, and have been a dominating presence in many state and national duck stamp competitions.

At last count, the three brothers have seen their art featured on over 50 state and federal conservation stamps. Jim, Bob and Joe are the only brothers ever to win the prestigious Federal Duck Stamp Contest. The talents of the Hautman Brothers as well as their unique family gift were mentioned in the motion picture “Fargo.” They have received national accolades on television and National Public Radio, and from newspapers such as USA TODAY, The Washington Post, Minneapolis Star Tribune and The St. Paul Pioneer Press, as well as TIME, US News & World Report, Sports Illustrated, U.S. Art and North American Hunter magazines. The Hautmans’ creations have been displayed in the Oval Office of the White House and at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C.

Milliken has placed close to 30 of their top designs on area rugs that are available in two different sizes – a small 2’8″ x 3’10″ and convenient 3’10″ x 5′ 4″ size. Unlike many rugs featuring fine artwork, some of the Hautman Wildlife Impressions rugs are available in what is known as “portrait” orientation. That is, the image is taller than it is wider. The decision was made to honor the vision of the artists and create the rugs in the style of the original artwork. This gives you many more options and possibilities when deciding where to decorate with one of these beautiful rugs.

The Milliken Hautman rugs are made of 100% nylon for durability and longevity. They are suitable for an entry way, although for obvious reasons, many people don’t like to place these rugs in areas of high foot traffic. Another great location is in front of a fireplace – although it’s not uncommon to see one of these rugs hung on a wall in a den, family room or lodge-theme living room.

Well-known wildlife artist Eddie Leroy comes from Eufaula, Alabama. His career as an artist began in college in 1986 when he entered an Alabama Wildlife Federation art contest in Birmingham. He did not win but a collector purchased his painting, his first art sale. Just two years later, he won that Alabama contest and has been chosen as the artist for a number of stamp-print programs since then.

About of dozen of his most beautiful wildlife paintings are available in the Milliken Wildlife Impressions Collection. Interestingly, Leroy is known for “painting from life.” That is, each picture he paints is from an actual place in North America and there is a factual story behind the image.
